6 p.m. Monday: Power restored to 99 percent of JCP&L customers

About 460 Jersey Central Power & Light customers in Monmouth County and 105 customers in Ocean County are without power Monday evening, according to the JCP&L website.

Service has been restored to 99 percent of JCP&L customers who lost power during Hurricane Sandy and the nor'easter, according to a news release from the company. More than 1.3 million outages were caused by those storms.

But service cannot be restored to about 30,000 customers on the barrier islands and in shoreline communities because of massive infrastructure damage in that area, the company said in the news release issued Sunday.

As the company identifies homes where service cannot be restored, it is blocking further collection and billing for those accounts, according to a statement posted on its website.

Any customers not located on the barrier islands or in the shore area who remain without power should call 888-LIGHTSS (888-544-4877) to report their outage.

Service cannot yet be restored to about 30,000 customers on the barrier islands and in shoreline communities because of massive infrastructure damage in that area, the company said in the news release issued Sunday.

Some towns are not listed because they have either fewer than 20 outages or insufficient data.
